Hope Valley’s Most Beloved Resort

Desolation Hotel Hope Valley isn’t like most resorts. Sitting on 165 acres of lush meadow and nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the property has a history that goes back centuries. Initially cared for by the native Washoe tribe, colonized by the Mormons, purchased at the turn of the century, and then over time turned into a place where weary travelers could rest and recharge, the resort now known as Desolation Hotel Hope Valley has been a welcome hideaway for more than a century.
